Well, we're in a huge skip ahead for this next one. And actually this is the one that I have been waiting for since I started this story. This is the arc I have always wanted to do. With that out of the way, here we go.
Near the Sullust system, Tyron and Asajj Ventress were engaging in battle with the Republic forces. It had been some time since Tyron had a real fight, he had been occupied with small missions, now this was his chance to prove himself. He had a bit of competition with Ventress, though. The two did not get along very well, each of them felt like they should be the next apprentice to Count Dooku. But when it came to fighting the Republic, especially in a fight like this, they could put their differences aside for the greater good.
"Trident group one, attack their starboard engines." Ventress ordered. "Trident group two, knock out their port shield generators."
"I'll go for the bridge Ventress. Just keep them off me." Tyron said, not even bothering to listen to Ventress' grumbling.
"We need this to go according to plan." Ventress said.
"And it will." Tyron said making his way toward the bridge.
Eventually Skywalker and Kenobi joined the fight. Tyron decided to go after Skywalker while Ventress went after Kenobi. It was a fun little dogfight, but Tyron noticed Skywalker going after Ventress. He had dealt with his droid fighters. Ventress was hit and sent crashing into the hanger bay of a Separatist dreadnought. Tyron decided to contact his master.
"Master. The Jedi are starting to win. I can rescue Ventress and make a counterattack." Tyron said.
"There is no need. Return to me at once." Dooku said.
"Master, Ventress will be destroyed if I retreat." Tyron argued.
"Yes, that is the plan. You will no longer have any competition. You will be my apprentice." Dooku said.
"Master, I—" Tyron started.
"Return to me at once." Dooku said sternly.
"Yes, my master." Tyron said.
He took one last look at the battle. The dreadnought that Ventress was on was destroyed. He punched in the coordinates for Serreno and made the jump into hyperspace. Ha landed near the castle where Dooku was. He went to his master to speak to him of this when he heard the familiar voice of Dooku's master, Darth Sidious.
"Once again you have proven your loyalty to me. I do hope this boy, Tyron, will not be a threat to me as well." Sidious said before it cut off the transmission. Tyron then entered the room.
"My master." He greeted.
"Tyron. You are now my apprentice. You shall serve me only. Ventress was growing too strong. She would have killed me and you to seize power. I ended her before that could happen." Dooku explained. Though Tyron was seeing all through it. That's why there was the Rule of Two when it came to the Sith. He knew it all too well, yet he accepted being Dooku's apprentice. All those years ago.

A young boy playing with his toys on the floor. Two adults talking. A man and a woman It got heated.
"He is not ready." The woman said.
"No one ever is ready. He can be strong like me. He can protect you." The man said sternly.
"As you have protected me?" The woman said.
"Sister, please. He has no father; there he can begin again." The man insisted.
"I will not have him be used for his power. The same power in your veins brother." The woman said.
"Perhaps when I return from this dispute you will change your mind. Think about it. My apprentice is nearly ready, he can train him." The man said.
"I have heard enough. Go!" The woman shouted. The man left but not before going to the boy.
"Farewell, little one." The man said.

"Please, think of your son. His uncle is dead. The planet grows worse, I can protect him." An older man was telling the woman from before.
"I cannot. I have already lost my brother; I cannot lose my only son." The woman cried.
"He will be cared for my dear. I will honor his memory if I can." The older man said.
"Take care of him. Please." The woman said.

A boy training with a machine was having a hard time.
"Ah! Pathetic! You are a worthless opponent!" The machine said kicking him to the ground. He looked up to see the older man disappointment on his face.
The boy was training again, with the older man.
"You have a good technique. But you must be fiercer in your fighting. The enemy will try to kill you. You must not let them." The older man said. The boy went on the offensive. "Good. Very good."
The boy was training with a woman with two blades. They hated each other. They went all out on their combat. Eventually the boy managed to best the woman. He looked to the older man, who was now impressed.

The boy was on the bridge of a starship
"I have a special assignment for you my boy." The older man said.
"I'm finally to be in the field?" The boy asked almost too eagerly.
"Yes, but I do not condone this attitude. You must take this seriously." The older man said sternly.
"Yes, Master. Forgive my eagerness. I will take special care on this mission." The boy apologized.
"There is no margin for error my boy. You must prove yourself worthy of being my apprentice, should Ventress fail me." Count Dooku said.
"I will be worthy Master. You have my word." Tyron pledged.
He woke up from his dream. It felt so real. He shook his head and got dressed. He decided to take a walk around the castle, to clear his head.
"How did I get mixed into this? I need to leave. Forge my own path. But how?" Tyron asked himself. Just as he was thinking that, three shadows appeared next to the castle. They didn't see him, so he took an opportunity to follow them. He saw one of them ignite a blue blade.
"Jedi? What are they doing here? Assassination is not their play." Regardless he followed them into the vents where they entered his master's room while he was sleeping. If he let them kill him then he would be free, but no. He had to save him.
"Master! Assassins!" He shouted him awake. Despite the warning one of them injected Dooku with some kind of poison. Dooku grabbed his lightsaber and ignited it, just as Tyron did the same. He could see three figures heading toward the pair of them.
"What sorcery is this? I do not need my eyes to see you Jedi." Dooku said before attacking the one with the blue blade.
Tyron attacked the one on the left with the green blade. Tyron had to admit, the style of their fighting was similar to Jedi, but not entirely. He went on the offensive, but the shadow eluded him and tried to go for his master. Dooku grabbed it with the Force and shoved it against the wall. Tyron began to attack the one with the blue blade. That one's style of fighting was familiar as well. Tyron began to think this was no Jedi assassin. But something more. Eventually the fight led out into the throne room. The three shades were putting up a good fight against the Sith master and his apprentice, but Tyron was putting up a good fight. Much more so than Dooku was. He was blinded by the poison in him, so he had to trust his instincts. Both Dooku and Tyron found themselves surrounded, so they changed tactics. They would move and slash at whatever was in front of them, going around in circles. However, Dooku was getting tired, he tried moving to the blue bladed Jedi, but she pushed him to the ground, seemingly knocking him out. Tyron moved to defend his master, but he was tossed aside by the other two assassins. Seemingly lost, the blue bladed one moved closer for the kill on Dooku, however she did not anticipate that he was tricking them and shot out powerful Force Lightning at them, tossing them out of the window.
"Master, are you okay?" Tyron asked.
"I am boy. Had you not gotten to me, I may have been killed." Dooku said.
"I am merely doing my duty to you, Master." Tyron said.
Later on, Tyron was called too the landing platform of his master's sail barge.
"Tyron, we are going to the planet, Dathomir. The Nightsisters have made me an offer for a new warrior to aid us." Dooku explained.
"Yes, master." Tyron said.
"Do not take this as me replacing you my boy. You are stronger than Ventress and together we will rule the galaxy, this warrior may be your apprentice one day." Dooku said.
"Then I look forward to meeting him." Tyron said smiling.
And there we have the Nightsisters' arc. If Ventress got a backstory in here, I kind of wanted to do one for Tyron as well. This will lead into a storyline for Tyron that I'm really excited about.
